Been hovering around here since 2009 with 3 posts and you can't come to a conclusion on which scope could serve your needs?
There's some i can recommend but they may only work to 990yds on a savage so I won't recommend them.

simple, buy as much scope as you can afford. my first was a millet 6 x 25 x56 got the job done. now I have a nightforce. glass quality at 1000 is so much better. you definitely know where your money went!!
These guy's are right, your budget and past experience will dictate what you should get. I would easily recommend an SWFA SS 3-15X42, that's what I started with now I'm stepping up to a top tier scope probably the Steiner or NF. like someone else said; spend as much as you can now so you won't regret it later.....
Ya, Sorry about that...I subscribed to this forum in 09' then went a different route. And now Im back.
Just seeing whats the latest and greatest...That's all...Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers...
The hell with the feathers man, ask away, we all ask stupid shit from time to time!!!! I think we'r all here to help each other! at least some of us are anyway.....
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50, ffp, mil/mil. Retails for $950 but I have bought two for about $100 less each. Try a dnz freedom reaper 1 piece 20 moa savage (round receiver) mount. Works great and reasonably priced. I shoot 900 yards with it no problem. Great scope and mount for the money.
(also if you go for a Vortex PST scope, you may want to avoid the 4-16x50 model. There have been many posted complaints about the glass. I am very happy with the glass in both my 6-24x50 models).

Price is everything. What is the budget, many can give you a run down of options at that price point.
Truth is a 400 Millet 4x16 will do it fine, unless your shooting x-rings at 1000 or something. For steel no problem. Beyond that you get into features and quality of features. Need to specify budget really.

I also highly recommend the Countersniper line of scopes. I run one on my Barret which is a 50cal necked down to 17hmr and it shoots them bullets at 30k fps. I really like how clear the scope is at 2k yards and how repeatable it is on the box test i run at 1237 yards.
After some thought I went to the high side of my budget, I bought a Steiner 5416 4-16x50 Scope...I got it for $1499 NIB...

My first scope was $40. With it I learned about variable magnification, ffp vs. sfp, and most importantly, you get what you pay for, glass is blue and fuzzy, reticle is a bit off the focal plane.
